―Sha'a Gi during the Battle of Hypori — (audio)Listen (file info)[src]

[edit] Biography

A combat-weak Jedi, Gi lacked the sufficient self-confidence to develop his Force abilities into strong Jedi skills. Instead, Gi proved to be a proficient slicer and aspired to join the Jedi librarians of the Jedi Archives after proving himself worthy of the Order. Jedi Master Daakman Barrek took Gi as his Padawan and showed faith in him, and Gi found his confidence bolstered by Barrek's presence. As a result, the pair operated as a successful intelligence team in the Outer Rim Territories, tracking criminal, smuggler and pirate activity.

Sha'a Gi crushed by Grievous.

When Barrek and Gi discovered the Confederacy's droid factories on Hypori, a Republic unit was dispatched and tasked with its destruction. Barrek and Gi joined the team of Jedi and clone troopers. The resulting Battle of Hypori was a failure for the Republic forces, and a massacre for their Jedi leaders. General Grievous ambushed the unit, and his droids quickly cut the task force down to size. After witnessing the death of Barrek at the hands of Grievous, Gi was filled with panic and fear. Racing into the open in a desperate attempt to confront the enemy, Commander Gi drew the attention of Grievous, who jumped upon him and crushed the young Padawan with his metallic frame.

[edit] Behind the scenes

According to Clone Wars director Genndy Tartakovsky, Sha'a Gi was inspired by the character Shaggy from the Scooby-Doo cartoons, resulting in a similar appearance and name pronunciation as well as a pessimistic behaviour. Another link to Shaggy is that Shaggy almost always wore a green shirt, therefore resulting in Gi having a green lightsaber crystal. His "profession" of hunting and tracking criminals in the Outer Rim Territories is similar to Shaggy's profession as a mystery detective.

Sha'a Gi's voice was provided by John Di Maggio.

During the end credits of Star Wars: Clone Wars: Volume I, Sha'a's name is listed as "Padawan".
